Real Results for Real Customers
The City of Dallas launched a six-year public safety initiative that required a flexible, scalable video surveillance solution capable of supporting both overt and covert operations.
WCCTV partnered with STS360 to deploy over 1,500 rapid deployment pole cameras across the city, all fully integrated into Dallas PD’s Command and Control Center.
The plug-and-play units provided HD video, onboard recording, and 4G LTE transmission, enabling law enforcement to monitor live footage, investigate incidents, and proactively deter crime.
The covert cameras blended seamlessly into urban environments, while the overt systems provided a visible security presence to discourage illegal activity.
This large-scale deployment continues to support real-time decision-making, rapid police response, and improved public safety across Dallas.
